It depends on how well you presented yourself at the interview. Good luck.

What did you get fired for? Have you been honest with yourself with the reasons for it? What have you learned from that? Do you have skills and a work ethic that would be of benefit to an employer? If not, fix it. If so, get up, dust yourself off, get your confidence up and get back out there! In the future, look at how well you are doing your job through the eyes of the boss and customers (in that order). What is expected of you? What is it you're doing that is helping the boss and/or the company?
Also, if there are problems building that could effect your rating, talk to the boss about it. This could be a project that is going to take longer than you thought. A long time ago, I had three bosses in the same company I did stuff for. Each was taking me away from what the others wanted. I tried harder to do what each wanted me to do instead of me talking it out with them. I eventually got canned.
Keep in mind, sometimes getting fired can be the best thing for a career. It sends you off in a different direction you wouldn't have taken before. It is an an opportunity if you use it as one. I know a number of people that wouldn't have found the success they have now if they hadn't been fired in the past.

Well, consider why you were fired... what lesson did you learn? Was there a lesson to be learned?
Do you have any co-workers from your prior jobs who would be willing to give you a reference? The power of references helps many get over poor prior employment relationships.
Play don't ask, don't tell. A potential employer can only ask your prior employer two questions: When did you work there, and are you eligible for re-hire... so there won't be a gossip session on you. If they want to hire you, they will ask why you left, so have a good explanation.
And this time: stay with your employer. nothing speaks louder on a resume than loyalty and dependence.

Yes, you can redirect you answer regarding the termination of your two jobs. Besides, the former employee will only mention you worked for them the length of time your pay etc. You don't have negatively Impact your career. Just tell them you decide it time for change or something along that line. I used to answer those calls, trust me on this one
